Thanks Debs, yeah Deb you are right, I did not understand that either. The Boost diabetic had no sugar and 16 grm protein while slimfast has 32 grms sugar and only 12 grm protein. I asked Rinette specifically but she said use only slimfast. I wasn't going to argue with her. She said something about shrinking the liver. I think now maybe I should have questioned her more about it. I didn't think there'd be a problem losing weight on this but apparently so. I thought all of my worries about losing weight were over once I started the 2 week liquid thing but I see not. I'll ask tomorrow. Maybe Ann was right. Maybe I am just holding fluid. Hope so. I don't care about the weight loss as much as I am hoping the liver shrunk.

Yep, Deb, 4 more days and if the liver shrunk, I will be done this part. You know I signed consent on Jan 12 and am having surgery on Feb 12. Hang in there. Fingers crossed for you. :)

I like the Glucerna much, much better that the Boost Diabetic, I don't understand what  difference it makes.  Sugar just makes you hungry. Gluserna has complex cards, so it takes longer to digest and keeps you satisfied longer. i am going do a little Googling and post what I find. I do know that MediTrim is soy based.

I called Rinette and she said to kep on doing what I'm doing. She said there wasn't too much sugar in Slimfast. I ased about liver shrinkage and she said "you'll know when you wake up". I guess I'll have to wait and see. These have been some of the longest 2 weeks of my life. I can't wait until Saturday and i can have chicken broth and jello. Then Sunday when I can have cream of wheat and yogurt. Oh my real food. LOL

I should be O.K. I haven't eaten anything.

I just know everything will be fine on Thursday. I know I am experiencing the negativity demon's thoughts, but I am trying to ignore him by rooting for the positive thoughts angel.  It is hard when such a big change is days away BUT we both know that we will be healthier, happier, stronger, and will probably live longer, let us both focus on that!.

You guys are fantastic!!! I don't know what I would have done without you all. Can you imagine going through this on your own? How hard would that be? I'm glad I found this "Family" here on OH. I've told no one, not family, not friends. So you guys are it, and I am glad of it. Couldn't have a more supportive family.  ((HUGS))
